Paid for Music?!?
Ever since Napster came about almost 10 years ago now..(wow, has it really been that long?), the question of buying music v. illegally downloading it has been out there. I could sit here and discuss the pros and cons of each, but that may take a while. Instead I'll just tell you that if I have decided in my own heart of hearts that if I feel an artist deserves to be supported, I buy their music. We all know how costly this may get, especially if you are a shopping junky like me!?! I should tell you though, lately I have decided that instead of a being a "shopping junky", perhaps there's just a need to have something new to stimulate my senses on a very frequent basis lol i.e. -expensive coffees (the aroma), new people in coffee shop environments, new clothes (the textures, how they wear, how I feel in them, and of course, new music!
Bla, Bla, Bla...so on my quest to not spend money, yet still be stimulated, I stumbled upon www.rcrdlbl.com . This site posts new music daily, and not the crappy main stream stuff either! They post mostly independent label, some they just like, and others for promotional purposes. The point being though, most of the stuff that comes up on this website I choose to download because it really is good i.e. I would have bought it if I had known about them! Case in point is the band Oberhofer, and not just because there's another somebody out there with a weird sounding Germanish name either... hahahah. You can listen to them here Oberhofer - Away Frm U, here, or here. Even if you don't like this particular group (which is a little hard to imagine because they're AMAZING (pronounced ammmaaazzz-ing), there are a ton of other bands to be aquainted with for free! Happy "shopping"/ filling your senses with new things! <3
